982. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she will request the State Examinations Commission to address an issue in relation to the cohort of students who are due to sit their Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate applied exams in June 2023 who have never sat a State examination, by extending the same adjustments to the State written examination for 2023 as are in place for the 2022 examinations (details supplied).

Detailed planning for the 2023 examinations will start immediately following the completion of the 2022 examinations. At present no changes to the 2023 assessment arrangements for the State Examinations have been made by the State Examinations Commission and this will be kept under review.

The decisions made, and which I announced in February, regarding the assessment arrangements and overall grade outcomes for Leaving Certificate 2022 reflect the disruption to their learning that has been experienced over the last two years by those students taking their Leaving Certificate examinations this year, including periods of school closures whilst those students were in the Senior Cycle, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
